FAVOR BILL ON MINIMUM WAGE Would Establish \\ ageHour Schedule Within Three Years Washington. April 22 — (U.R) — The house labor committee today favorably reported a bill to estab- j llsh within three years a 40 cents an hour wage for a 40-hour maxi- 1 mum work week and urged its enactment to preclude wage cutsl and deflation. The bill, drafted after months of j struggle within the committee, j would establish the “ceiling” on hours and "floor” for wages by i gradual adjustment of standards ' over three years. Initially, the measure would establish a minimum wage of 25 cents and a 44-hour week, gradually revising those standards to reach the ultimate goal of “40-40.” The report, prepared by Chairman Mary Norton. D„ N J., of the i labor committee, warned that the ; deflation spiral “if allowed to gather sufficient strength, may threaten the foundations of government itself." It declared relief I demands on federal and state governments will continue unless priv- I ate employers pay wages sufficient ■ to cover at least the bare cost of■ | Dr. S. M.

f living. “Government cannot Indefinitely I provide what is in effect a subsidy ' I for such employers —a subsidy I made necessary by the inability of - the great majority of such emI ployers to maintain fair labor- ■ I standards In the face of wage cuts by chiseling competitors," the report said. It made a bld for the support of i Republicans and Industrial area congressmen by pointing out that ' there are no differentials between I Industries, sections or employers I and that supreme court minimum ! wage rulings have erased differ- ' ences between the two parties in method of approaching the problem ; of wages, hours and child labor. To Aid Railroads Washington. April 22 — (U.R) — ! Congressional experts, preparing | “stop gap" legislation to aid the , ailing railroad industry, considerled today a proposal for putting 150,000 furloughed railroad workers back to work at government expense. Chairman Burton K. Wheeler, D.. Mont., of the senate Interstate commerce committee, announced that he is preparing temporary legislation for passage at this session and indicated that he might favor proposals for cooperation , between the federal government i and railway management to give i furloughed workers work on maintenance projects. | Under the plan being considered, i he said, the government would pay ■ labor costs, probably through the ' works progress administration, and the carriers would pay for materI ials. Long deferred and needed ’ maintenance has been one of the I railroads' major problems. Wheeler said that a long range | rehabilitation program would be deferred until the next congress, but that the temporary program

probably will Include: 1. Authorisation of loans totaling $300,000,000 for new equipment and easing of present loan restrictions by the reconstruction finance corporation and the interstate commerce commission. 2. Rasing of statutory restrictions on reorganization and establishment of a three-man reorganization court to speed procedure. 3. Payment of full fare by government traffic on land-grant roads, exempting movement of troops and supplies during wartime. 4. Possible regulation of water transportation by the interstate commerce commission. PLAN MEMORIAL ■ \t'm ri. FROM PAOB • >xi:> and children of deceased members of the order, at Mooeeheart.

Mr. Bailey further stated that generally farmers looked back at the price on the I last years' prices of crops in planning their plantings with consequent “feast and famine” condi- 1 tions occurring periodically. Under the new procedure it is possible for them to look ahead to the probable demand for their products , and plan their operations accordingly and thus help to insure parity of income. Mr. Bailey further stated that < the new act provided for storage and adequate supplies to consum- 1 ers at fair prices. o Worry Over Arrest Leads To Suicide South Bend.

URGES CHANGE IN WEIGHT TAX Tax Study Commission Recommends Modifications In Law Indianapolis. April 22 — (U.R) ~ Modifications of Indiana's controversial truck weight tax law were recommended today in a prelimin- : ary report by Gov. M. Clifford Townsend's special tax study comi mission. Retention of the basic features of the tax system was urged, however. The five member commission which conducted a study of the , state tax laws at a request of the governor, found the new law. passed by the 1937 legislature, preferable to the method employed I by 34 other states. They declared, however, that "the weight tax law in its present ' form in Indiana apparently contained some inequities which should perhaps be smothered out." i Indiana's weight tax law Imposes a tax on both private and i common carriers according to the size and number of tires used on ; trucks. Most other states base ! I their tax on manufacturer's capac- | ity ratings. ‘ Major change recommended was I the removal or lessening of the weight tax on small trucks and . the imposition of a higher tax on large trucks, those "which necessi- j | tate the construction of more expensive highways.” Plan Reunions For Confirmation Classes » In connection with the Centennial celebration of Zion Lutheran church, Freidheim. northwest o fthe city, a series of reunion services of all confirmation classes will be held.

Immediately after the service a fellowship dinner will be served to the members of these classes and their mates. President Planning Cruise In Atlantic Washington. April 22 —(UP) — President Roosevelt said today that he plans to sat! from Charleston, S. C.. a week from today on a four or five-day cruise into the Atlantic.
